Sidharth Shukla suffered massive heart attack and passed away on September 2. The popular actor said to be in a relationship with Shehnaaz Gill. An inconsolable Shehnaaz arrived for Sidharth Shukla’s last rites with her brother Shehbaz Badesha. According to reports, the rumoured couple was planning to tie the knot in December 2021. Jasleen Matharu, who is a close friend of Shehnaaz, had told ETimes TV, “I went to meet Sidharth Shukla’s family yesterday and seeing them I got emotional. Rita aunty is very strong and she kept saying ‘chala gaya’. She said a few things which got me emotional. When I was speaking to her she said he achieved so much in life, he worked hard for everything, did so well in life but everything came to an end within a few seconds. I tried to talk to her positively and asked her to be strong and see how much love Sidharth is getting. She was teary eyed and showed us all how strong she is.”
